"Hi everybody! We're here!" Jan Di called out happily as she and Dae-hyun entered the F4 lounge. "Sorry we're late!"

Everyone stopped their ongoing conversations and turned and smiled at them in response. Gaeul and Jae Kyung ran up to her and pulled her in for a group hug. "Jan Di!"

After they hugged, Gaeul looked at Dae-hyun. "Hello! It's nice to see you again!" she said happily then bowed, to which he smiled and bowed back in return.

Then Jun-pyo stood up. "What took you so long?" he asked Jan Di warily. "It's already 7:00! We started the party 4 hours ago."

"Jun-pyo, I already told you. I had to study for my exams in the library first." Jan Di replied back calmly.

"Anyways, everybody, this is Lee Dae-hyun." she continued, holding Dae-hyun by the shoulders gently. "We were really close friends back in primary school, and we happened to see each other again yesterday at the medical outreach."

Dae-hyun bowed politely, and greeted, "Nice to meet you all."

After that, everybody formed a circle with the couch and bean bags, and formally introduced themselves one-by-one, starting with Woo Bin.

"I'm Song Woo Bin, the normal one of the F4." he joked, to which everybody, except the rest of the F4, laughed.

"Ya!" Jun-pyo retorted.

"What do you mean the 'normal' one?" Yi-jung questioned.

Ji-hoo just stared at Woo Bin suspiciously.

Woo Bin chuckled. "Do we have to go through this again? Self-centered, 'fourth-dimensional', cold-blooded Casanova!" he pointed out to Jun-pyo, Ji-hoo, and Yi-jung correspondingly, to which they got up and jokingly shook him, as everyone continued to laugh.

After everybody (excluding Ji-hoo, Jan Di, and Gaeul) introduced themselves, the F4 brought out the snacks and turned on the TV, while everybody else continued chatting.

"So, Dae-hyun, how did you and Jan Di meet?" Jae Kyung asked curiously.

Dae-hyun looked at Jan Di for a few seconds, then looked back at Jae Kyung.

"Well, we were classmates in grade five of primary school all the way up until Jan Di transferred to Shinhwa," he started. "We met when Jan Di was getting bullied by a couple of boys in the 6th grade. I stood up for her and told them off, and we became immediate friends after that." he finished proudly, then gazed at Jan Di, who half-smiled in response.

Jun-pyo noticed this and took a seat next to Jan Di, and put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

Dae-hyun saw this and slightly frowned.

"Wait, then why are you a year behind Jan Di?" Yi-jung asked Dae-hyun, confused. "If you're both the same age and were classmates...?"

"Yes. Well, I just entered medical school a little late." Dae-hyun replied.

"As a matter-of-fact, before I went to Shinhwa Medical School, they asked me if I wanted to just proceed on to the graduating class. But I declined, mainly because although I already know most of the material, I haven't taken all the required exams, and it would be added pressure on me to have to do that. I just figured it wasn't worth it.."

"..that is, before I knew Jan Di was in the graduating class..." he added quietly.

Yi-jung nodded, a little confused. Ji-hoo, on the other hand, perceived Dae-hyun's deeper hidden message. He cleared his throat.

Suddenly the sound of the news channel from the TV blared out.

"GEUM JAN DI, WIFE OF SHINHWA'S GU JUN-PYO, RUMORED TO BE SEEN AT Masisseoyo! YESTERDAY AFTERNOON WITH AN UNKNOWN MAN."

Shown alongside this was a few pictures of them (taken from afar) looking a little chummy with each other inside the restaurant, and a blurred picture of them staring intently at each other outside the restaurant.

Immediately without thinking, Jan Di attempted to block Jun-pyo's view by putting her body against his chest, but to his advantage he easily held her firmly to his side with one arm, allowing him to see the screen.

Dae-hyun stood up uncomfortably, not knowing what to do, as everyone stared between the two in surprise.
